Sirat Ibn Hisham 208
ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib entrusts him to his paternal uncle Abū Ṭālib
كِفَالَةُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ مَعَ عَمِّهِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ - فِيمَا يَزْعُمُونَ - يُوصِي بِهِ عَمَّهُ أَبَا طَالِبٍ، وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَبَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَأَبَا طَالِبٍ أَخَوَانِ لِأَبٍ وَأُمٍّ، أُمُّهُمَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَائِذِ بْنِ عَبْدِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: عَائِذُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ. [ وِلَايَةُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لِأَمْرِ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ هُوَ الَّذِي يَلِي أَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ جَدِّهِ، فَكَانَ إلَيْهِ وَمَعَهُ. [ نُبُوءَةُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ لَهَبٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ لَهَبٍ - قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَلَهَبٌ: مِنْ أَزْدَشَنُوءَةَ - كَانَ عَائِفًا، فَكَانَ إذَا قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ أَتَاهُ رِجَالُ قُرَيْشٍ بِغِلْمَانِهِمْ يَنْظُرُ إلَيْهِمْ وَيَعْتَافُ لَهُمْ فِيهِمْ. قَالَ: فَأَتَى بِهِ أَبُو طَالِبٍ وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ، مَعَ مَنْ يَأْتِيهِ، فَنَظَرَ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ شَغَلَهُ عَنْهُ شَيْءٌ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ: الْغُلَامُ عَلَيَّ بِهِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَبُو طَالِبٍ حِرْصَهُ عَلَيْهِ غَيَّبَهُ عَنْهُ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: وَيْلَكُمْ، رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ الْغُلَامَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ آنِفًا، فَوَاَللَّهِ لَيَكُونَنَّ لَهُ شَأْنٌ. قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ.
Translation
✧ Abū Ṭālib's Guardianship of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was, after ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, with his uncle Abū Ṭālib, and ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib – as they assert – had bequeathed him to his uncle Abū Ṭālib. That is because ʿAbd Allah, the father of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Abū Ṭālib were full brothers, their mother being Fāṭimah bt. ʿAmr b. ʿĀʾidh b. ʿAbd b. ʿImrān b. Makhzūm. Ibn Hishām said: ʿĀʾidh b. ʿImrān b. Makhzūm. [Abū Ṭālib's Guardianship of the Messenger's ﷺ Affairs] Ibn Isḥāq said: Abū Ṭālib was the one who took charge of the affairs of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after his grandfather, and so he was entrusted to him and stayed with him. [Prophecy of a man from Lahab concerning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ] Ibn Isḥāq said: Yaḥyā b. ʿAbbād b. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Zubayr related to me that his father related to him: A man from Lahab – Ibn Hishām said: Lahab is from Azd Shanūʾah – was a soothsayer. Whenever he came to Makkah, the men of Quraysh would bring their boys to him to examine them and practice augury about them. He said: Abū Ṭālib brought him, while he was a boy, along with those who came to him. He looked at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then something distracted him from him. When he finished, he said: “The boy, bring him to me!” When Abū Ṭālib saw his eagerness for him, he hid him from him. He kept saying: “Woe to you! Bring back the boy I saw just now, for by Allah he will have a great affair.” He said: Then Abū Ṭālib departed.
